This applies to Git in general, not just with SourceTree. When you stash changes, the items that will be stashed are the changes to tracked files in your working copy and in the staging area. Those changes will be saved in the stash, and reverted in the working copy and index.
When you choose to keep changes in the index/staging area, those changes will still be stashed, but Git won't also revert them in the staging area. This is useful if, for example, you make several unrelated changes, and you want to run tests only some of those changes, without having the unrelated ones affect the test.
However, untracked files aren't normally stashed. If you want to also stash those files, you need to pass an additional option to git stash on the command line (SourceTree for Windows doesn't currently have such an option. I don't know if the same is true for the Mac version):
I'm also looking for a way to stash only a few items from my working copy and I stumbled upon this question. I found a workaround that was mentioned in the official Atlassian forums. I tried it using SourceTree version 3.3.8 for Windows and it works for me.
I have stashed quite a bunch of changes that are not yet ready to be committed on the Develop branch in order to checkout the Master branch for a hotfix. Now I realize that one change in the stash would be good to include in the hotfix since I will anyway have to make a new deployment. But since the stash is largish, I cannot see the particular change I want when I select the stash in SourceTree. For me, SourceTree shows only a part of the stash as some kind of summary...
I know that I can get around this in several different ways, but if there is an option somewhere that I don't know of which would make SourceTree show the full contents of the stash, I'd be very pleased if someone could tell me where to find it.
This worked on my Windows machine, as well, although the changes only appeared in Visual Studio's Git Changes window. They still did not appear in Sourcetree. Nevertheless, making a new stash made my older stash appear. Thank you for the tip!
I frequently find myself wanting to commit portions of what I'm working on to a different branch. Being able to divide my uncommitted changes into different stashes so I can apply them to the desired branches would be very helpful. Example: I'm in the middle of working some one big feature when a simple bug is reported. I fix the bug in the development environment, test, and want to commit that one change to the released branch and push to staging/production.
I want to delete a stash, very simpel. But the problem is that I can't. When I hit the right mouse button and select the Delete stash button. It does nothing. So I waited a while. Maybe it took some time to remove the stash or something. But nothing happened. So I decided to try it one more time, after that, still nothing happened. Very frustrating, so I restarted SourceTree and after the restart was done, all my stashes were gone.
Here you can see all of you stashed stashes, with there corresponding names and branches.When you click at the stashes, you can see what is the changes belong to that stash.Double click at the stash to apply the stash into your local.
Use of the git stash should be the exception, not the rule. For day-to-day development, programmers should be check into topic branches, commit their code regularly and merge into a feature branch on a regular basis. But from time to time a developer needs to save a snapshot of their working tree to the stash.
One you have identified the entry in which you are interested, you likely want to see what is in that stash. This is where the git stash show command comes in. This will display a summary of file changes in the stash.
If a git stash conflict occurs on a push or pop, you might want to instead create a new, independent branch for the stash and then merge it into your topic branch or feature branch after you have examined it. To create a branch based on a stash use the following command:
To be on the safe side, never use reset --hard without first running stash. It will save you many white hairs later on. If you did run stash, you can now use it to recover your working tree changes as well:
Now that you have a saved version of your changes, you can merge your code into the main version of your repository, or discard your changes. Once you have done either of these tasks, you can retrieve the code from your stash using the pop keyword:
To solve this error, either commit your change to the repository, discard your change, or stash your change for later. Now you have the knowledge you need to fix this error like a professional developer!
If your local changes have some overlap with changes you are pulling, you will, instead get a merge conflict from git stash pop. Now you have some remedial work to do. In this case, you have gained nothing by using git stash in the first place, which explains my general lack of enthusiasm for git stash.
At this point, you must resolve the merge conflict (future link). Literally, at each locus of conflict, pick one version or the other (upstream or stashed) or create a hybrid yourself. Remove the all the markers inserted to demarcate the conflicts. Save.
Sometimes, when we are working with our local changes in a Git repo, we maywant to pull the latest updates from the remote repository. To avoid codeconflict between remote files and local files. We can use git stash to storethe unfinished local work temporarily.
If you are in a certain branch and do a git stash, you may think that thestashed changes only belong to that branch. However, that is not the case.Since you have not committed the changes, they do not belong to any branch,even if you are currently working on a specific branch (seehere).
After the git-pull, we may want to continue our unfinished work. We can usegit stash pop to restore unfinished work. You can also use git stash applyinstead. The difference between git stash pop and git stash apply is thatthe former will drop the stash if there is no merge conflict, while the laterwill never drop the stash even if the stashed changes merge successfully withthe pulled code.
Anyway, if everything goes well, our unfinished changes can merge with theremote updates without any conflict. However, if we and other collaborator bothhave changed the same file at the same place, we will encounter merge errorsafter git-stash. The error message is like the following:
The alternative (and longer) way of fixing the fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories issues is to unstage your current commits, stash them, clone your required remote repository, and then place your stashed branch contents into the new clone.
